Google DeepMind reports that human-guided AI agents uncovered two major weaknesses in legacy 1024-bit RSA cryptosystems, showing that AI can accelerate the science of stress-testing encryption. Modern 2048-bit systems remain safe from these specific exploits. It matters because it marks a shift: long-standing hardness assumptions can no longer be taken for granted, and cryptographic standards will need continuous AI-assisted stress-testing.
